Program stopped when converting movies even before burning

[rickyfung]

I am using Ulead Videostudio 9 tiral version to put 3 MPG movies on to a DVD. I loaded the movies and edited the titles then start the process of converting.

First, I tried converting the movies and burn the DVD. However, it stopped at 96%. So I think may be the nero installed on my PC has conflict with it. I uninstalled the nero, still doesn't work.

Then I think I can just convert the movies to DVD files, then burn it with nero. It took 1/2 an hour and stops at 62%, I waited for another 1/2 an hour it's still there.

I am interested in how you are trying a trial version of VS9 -- with all trial versions only lasting 30 days -- when the current trial version is VS10+ and it has been out for several months.

Anyway, you need to tell us more. What are the properties of the 'movies' you are trying to burn. Right click on one within Video Studio and copy down its properties here. For instance, if they are indeed movies which you may have downloaded from the internet, they are likely to be DivX or XVid movies using a special mpeg-4 codec which VS9 could only handle if you had both the full version of the program AND a special mpeg-4 plug-in which was only available free to registered users.

We also need to know exactly what work flow you are following. And the properties you are trying to use for your DVDs. For instance, if you are using Dolby audio, the trial version of VS9 does not have a capability to handle Dolby.

It would also be useful to know your computer specifications.

And as a footnote, it is not the Nero suite which causes problems, just the InCD packet-writing sub-program, which needs to be uninstalled if it causes problems.

I downloaded the 10+ and burned a DVD succesfully, but another problem comes up. I wanted to burn 3 movies which are around 600MB each onto 1 DVD. When I add the movie to the list, it become 3GB per movie. Of course, I can't fit 9GB onto a DVD. So I burn just 1 movie. When I start the burning process, 3GB becomes 600MG again.

Any clues?

Thanks!

As Ken already stated, we need to know your work flow and file properties. It looks like somewhere along the lines your video, whatever it is, is going to be converted to mpeg2 (DVD standard) and when you actually burn it to disk it's using the much higher compression again (mpeg4, DivX, Xvid, who knows but you). Do you actually have a player that will play your so called "DVD"?
